    Default System Pics

    hi, heres some Pictures of my Current System - its a Fully Digital Front end
    Playing through a menu driven Apple TV (soon to be replaced by a MAC Mini)

    AppleTV (Fitted with a 250gig HD with Lossless albums)
    Marantz KI63 Mk2 (Ten Years young! )
    Altmann Attraction DAC (With Paul Hynes PSU)
    Border Patrol Control Unit Pre-Amp (Tweaked! )
    Border Patrol P20 (Western Electric 300b) Power Amp
    ProAc D38 Speakers in Ebony (spiked)

    Cables are:
    Chord Sig Digital (CD to DAC)
    Kondo KSL-Vc (DAC to PreAmp)
    Chord Sig Interconnects (PreAmp to Power Amp)
    Chord Sig Speaker Cables (Going to try some pure Silver cables soon)
    Nordost White Light Glass Optical (Apple TV to DAC)

    I Keep swaping the Kondo and Sig Interconnects around - Just can't
    make up my mind which way sounds better...

    Racks are Sound Organization - spiked (Looking to 'Upgrade' these soon)

    The Sound Panels are Swedish Snow Crash 'Lunas' - They have really sorted the Bass Problem out that I was Having!

    I listen to a Very Wide Selection of Music from 70'/80's/Pop/Rock/Jazz to Modern House/Electronic/Rock & Pop & Acoustic

    Sound Quality is very nice - and the Altmann 'De-Jitter' Circuit seems to Work well, The Apple TV is a great solution as a jukebox!

    I'm looking to add another DAC at some point in the near Future,
    the Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC looks very Promising!

    I'll probably try to Audition the new Chord QBD76 DAC also

    the BP Pre has been rewired with Silver Kondo Cable (The Silver and Brown Cables in the pics below)
    and had a few caps added! it sounds crystal clear, Open and wonderful

    I've included some internal shots of the BP Pre as it may interest some of you
